On march 20, 2016 we hear a very loud bang in the rear of the hummer.. Rear main leaf spring broke off. We also have the loud bang when you put the vehicle in drive. Both are being investigated by gm engineers @[email protected]. This vehicle should have never been sold by the dealer auto serv of tilton, nh. They will not make good on this vehicle. The vehicle at the time was literally going 15 miles per hour. Can you imagine if we were on the highway!! We have the old leaf springs home with us for proof.

(6-03-14) the right rear main leaf spring broke causing the rear tire to lock up and be at the most rearward position that it can be, almost rubbing the body. Then today, (7-27-14) the left rear spring done the same thing except the axle moved so far back that the driveshaft came out of the transfer case and I had to have a rollback haul it to a repair facillity.
